A ultraperformance liquid chromatography (UPLC)-photodiode array (PDA) detection method was established for the simultaneous determination of seven constituents in Fructus aurantii-Magnolia bark decoction: naringin, hesperidin, neohesperidin, narirutin, meranzin hydrate, honokiol and magnolol. These were separated in <17 min using a C18 column with gradient elution using (a) acetonitrile, (b) water and (c) acetic acid at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min, and with a PDA detector. All calibration curves showed good linear regression (r(2) > 0.9992) within the test ranges. The method was validated for specificity, accuracy, precision and limits of detection. The proposed method was found to be suitable for the quality assessment of the formula.

Background: Presently, the mitigation and governance of obesity have surfaced as significant public health dilemmas on a global scale. A wealth of studies indicated that the host gut microbiota is instrumental in regulating the interplay between high-fat diet (HFD) intake and the pathogenesis of obesity. Physiological premature fruit drop, a major byproduct of citrus, is rich in a variety of bioactive constituents, yet its potential has remained underutilized for an extended period.

Article Synopsis
  • Schisandra sphenanthera, a fruit used in traditional medicine, is reported to have beneficial effects on diabetes mellitus (DM) by helping with symptoms like prolonged cough and thirst and may aid in diabetes prevention and control.
  • The research aims to uncover how Schisandra Sphenanthera (SDP) works against type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) through various scientific methods like biochemical analysis and metabolite assays.
  • Findings reveal that SDP can lower blood glucose levels, improve metabolic functions, and activate specific signaling pathways, ultimately leading to therapeutic effects on T2DM and restoring damage in organs like the liver and pancreas.
